Thanks in advance!

import java.util.*;

public class ExamScores
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

int gradeCounter;
int A=0;
int B=0;
int C=0;
int D=0;
int F=0;
double grade =0;

gradeCounter = 0;

System.out.print("Enter an exam score (to quit enter a negative score): ");
grade = input.nextDouble();

while (grade !=-1);
{
System.out.println("Enter an exam score (to quit enter a negative score): ");
grade = input.nextDouble();

if(grade >=90)
A++;
else
if(grade >=80)
B++;
else
if(grade >=70)
C++;
else
if(grade >=60)
D++;
else
F++;

gradeCounter = gradeCounter + 1;

grade++;
}// end of while loop

System.out.println("A: " + A +"\nB: " + B + "\nC: " + C + "\nD: " + D + "\nF: " + F );
}
}
